Kio Stark : Why you should talk to strangers

Kio Stark at TED 2016
Why you should talk to strangers (transcript)
Summary
A way I always use has been the way of triangulation that people can talk to strangers.

When I meet a person who came from another country or who have been to another country, I give him or her a present that is our company's products Flag key-chain. It becomes a third thing, and then the person, I, and Flag key-chain can start a conversation. Flag key-chain is a very strong weapon because people definitely love their related countries. I receive a hug even Japan which doesn't have its custom, I'm offered my hand, and they jump for joy when I give it.

Recently, we must forget to use our senses when we meet and talk to strangers. It's because we're taught that strangers are dangerous, and then we classify strangers unconsciously with having biases. It’ll lead us to losing our own freedom and intimacy. It means that we can't have opportunities that we know how significant interactions are and how special forms of closeness gives us.
Thus the challenge: talking to strangers can be very rewarding as much as we need our families and our friends.
It’ll give us wonderful connection unexpectedly.
